Treasurer’s Report for the 2025 Annual Accounts

The Annual accounts for 2025 show a great improvement in the Club finances compared to the previous year. The surplus of income over expenditure stands at £14,476 compared to £2,252 the previous year, which is an exceptional figure. The reasons for this are (mainly):

• Gift aid claim of £3698

• £440 more from the lottery fund

• Increased subs £1,352

• More competition fee income £624

• Reduced expenditure by £7,623.

Subscriptions still provide nearly half our income, Range hire, mainly from the Target Shooting School and sales of ammunition, are other important sources of income for the Club. Training courses which was just the Junior Summer School (organised jointly with the Target Shooting School contributed) 3% of the income, down from 7% The lottery fund continues to make a small but significant 6% of income.

Subscriptions are shown for the accounting year but members start paying their fees around the beginning December for the following year continuing until at least the end of February. In 2024, the adjusted subs were around £18,300 and for 2025 around £2,500 – so looking good.

On the expenditure side, we spent £3,326 less on ammunition probably due to the fact that we had stock worth £3,278 at the start of the year when normally we carry a stock of around £1.5k. Our affiliation fees were paid within the year whereas some of the 2023 fees came in 2024 so that amount was higher than usual. Maintenance and repairs were down by £3,606 and we made our final loan repayments this year. Our utility bills have also reduced slightly but we spent more on targets. The professional fees were for a survey of the air range to pinpoint the damp causes and get remedies for this plus £100 for the auditor.

Other expenditure includes marketing, stationery, social events etc.

To summarise, the end of year figures show income of £43,241 with expenditure of £28,495. This gives us net receipts of £14,476 with cash funds of £94,256 (and includes approx. £50 in the float).

Future Investments

The solar panels are still waiting to be fitted as our new lease with MVDC is still going back and forwards between our solicitor and the MVDC solicitor. There is a clause which allows us to install the solar panels written into the lease and we can’t proceed with this until the lease is signed and we have the permission in writing from MVDC.

The Club will continue to invest to maintain and improve the facilities on behalf of its members. We had to return five of the six Air Arms rifles to British Shooting earlier this year (on long-term loan) so we are purchasing six new replacements. The Thursday Club are also replacing the roof on the 100 yd firing point.
